    Irregular tomestone grinding efficiency

    Just started today, and was wondering what the efficiency of the various instances is, in minutes per tomestone.

    Instance.......#TS.......Time (M).....TS per min.

    Stone Vigil:.......3..........20................6.6
    Praetorium:......10.........47................4.7
    Castrum:...........7.........24................3.4

    So, despite all the cutscenes, if you have the time, Castrum is the most efficient so far.

    I think what you calculated is minutes per tomestone, not tomestones per minute ^^

    Right now I think it's more efficient to not grind and just do your daily roulettes, including (if you're willing) the Frontline PVP roulette and/or the MSQ roulette.

    Grind if you get closer to the end and haven't earned all the items you wanted.

    There isn't much reason to grind. With the increased amount, you can just do your dailies and get quite a bunch. Most items on the list aren't worth getting through this system anyway. If you want the Primal mounts, just put up a PF and unsync them. Every single HW Primal nowadays can be laughed at with four people. You can even solo half most of them on Paladin.

    getting primal mounts is certetainly better with this event than doing unsync farms, you could be farming for a long time and not even get the mount before the party gets dispanded.

    Eh, not really? You'll straight up skip most mechanics. And even for the ones you don't, they do next to nothing nowadays. I did Nidhogg at 70 with two people in 60+ leveling gear. He still fell over in like five minutes. Mount drop rates are also buffed pretty significantly. You'd have to be extremely unlucky for it to take more than a couple hours. Even that's unlikely.

    MSQ and Alliance roulette since you're pretty much guaranteed to get LotA or SC.

    it's not unlikely, I help people farm mounts a lot and lots of people never get their mount, it's pretty common to do 10 kills and see no mount drops too and you could have used that time to farm moogle tomes instead.

    I haven't done an MSQ or Alliance Roulette in over a year myself. In fact I barely do roulettes at all. So those aren't dailies for everyone. In which case knowing the most efficient grinding method for the Falcon is handy to know.
